Tāmradhvaj managed to send to the Ahom king, by the hands of a *bairāgi*, a letter saying what had happened to him, asking forgiveness for his past offences, and begging for deliverance from the hands of his captor. Rudra Singh, who seems to have been delighted, alike with the submissive tone of the Kachāri king's letter, and with the opportunity thus afforded him to display his power in a new direction, at once directed the officer in charge of the Ahom outpost at Jāgi to send word to Rām Singh, through his tributary chief of Gobhā, demanding the immediate release of his captive.
